Monaco 6 Guingamp 0: Joy of six as Toure, Traore and Carrillo impress

Almamy Toure turned in an impressive performance while Guido Carrillo and Adama Traore each scored twice as Monaco hammered Guingamp 6-0 in Saturday’s Ligue 1 encounter.

A disappointing 1-1 draw with Besiktas in midweek all but ended Monaco’s hopes of reaching the Champions League last 16, but it was business as usual domestically for the champions.

Toure was the provider for Monaco’s first two goals at Stade Louis II, Guido Carrillo and Adama Traore the beneficiaries from his superb work down the right.

Keita Balde Diao essentially wrapped up the match just after the half-hour mark with his third goal in as many league games, before Fabinho’s spot-kick made it 4-0 at the break.

Traore scored again with 15 minutes to go with Toure once more assisting and Carrillo added further gloss with his own brace as Monaco bettered Paris Saint-Germain’s 5-0 hammering of Angers earlier in the day to stay four points adrift of their rivals in the table.
